Good Ideas All

Thanks for the replies ... I like the boat plug method, unfortunately I sold my boat about 10 years ago. I tried several different make shift tools ... the head of a carriage bolt and a set of measuring calipers slightly modified. The tubes did not want to let go so I ended up removing the outer plastic to remove the large o-ring and then they decided to let go ... I hope I did not get any pieces into the head as they were very brittle.

The Rauch and Spiegel aluminum tubes look like a great idea ... I will probably get these if I do need to remove the head covers to replace solenoid or timing chain pads. I noticed that they also sell the puller tool ... tempting, but I'll hold off unless I decide to work on future Porsche Projects.

I plan to drop the car off the jack stands this evening or tomorrow and test the engine for repeat codes.
